It looks as if that blimp was all for naught. After promising a new album on June 29, and then unveiling the tracklist and asking fans to come up with a title, electro-hopper M.I.A. has now revealed not only that she's titled the album after herself, but that it's now due two weeks later than initially promised.

M.I.A.'s new album is now due July 13 (not June 29) and is titled / / / Y / . If you look closely, it spells out "MAYA," which is the performer's name when she isn't making stuff like this.

M.I.A. has a new single out, "XXXO," which you can hear from a radio rip below.
